Book Reviews of Pandora's Star
Book Review: A thoroughly enjoyable read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I came across this little gem by accident one day.It sat round on my desk for a couple of months before I got to settle into it.But I can honestly say that once I picked it up I was unable to put it down!It has all the elements of a true sci-fi classic.Exceptional plot developments as well as character definition make this an easy,engrossing,lose all track of time reading experience.You won't be disappointed and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.Book Review: Great Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I am admittedly much more widely read in the Fantasy genre, with only brief fortes into SF, but this book was great. It created a very believable world and kept the plot moving at a pretty quick pace. Some of the characters could have been developed a bit more, but overall this was a fun book that left me wanting more.Book Review: Great stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
A real page turner - pretty decent. Other reviewers are right that sometimes he could do with editing for length, but this is top quality sci fi if you can get past that.
You definitely need to read this with the sequel, it reads as one work that's been split in two, rather than two truly separate novels.
Book Review: Super-Cool
Summary: 5 Stars
A large number of fully three dimensional characters living amidst a fantastic take on the future. Fully believable motivations and sociological structure with very clever technology. Hamilton draws the story out very carefully and when he decides to make it move, it does so faster than you can imagine.Book Review: Just like the old days
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this book brought me back to the days when I first discovered science fiction; when I would take a thick book and read and lose myself. This hasn't happened in a while (give or take 30-40 years.
Buy this book; get lost in it. You'll be glad you did.
